Description of a new species of Aegosoma Audinet-Serville, 1832 from Vietnam (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Prioninae) .

Fourteen species have been recognized to belong to the genus Aegosoma Audinet-Serville, 1832 in the world: A. annulicornis (Komiya, 2001); A. musaamani Drumont, Do & Bosuang, 2013; A. cuneicornis (Komiya, 2000); A. giganteum Lansberge, 1884; A. guerryi (Lameere, 1915); A. ivanovi Danilevsky 2011; A. katsurai (Komiya, 2000); A. kusamai (Komiya, 1999); A. ossea Aurivillius, 1897; A. pallida Komiya & Drumont, 2012; A. scabricorne (Scopoli, 1763); A. sinicum White, 1853 (Danilevsky, 2011, Drumont & Komiya, 2010, Komiya & Drumont, 2012); A. ornaticolle White, 1853, and A. hainanensis Gahan, 1900 (Danilevsky, 2011). In addition, A. sinicum consists of four subspecies: A. sinicum legrandi Komiya & Drumont, 2012, A. sinicum sinicum White, 1853, A. sinicum savoryi (Kusui, 1973), and A. sinicum validicornis (Gressitt, 1951). Only two Aegosoma species are recorded in Vietnam: A. katsurai from Cao Bang and Lao Cai Provinces and A. sinicum sinicum from Da Lat, Lam Dong Province. In this paper, we describe a new species of the genus Aegosoma collected from Lam Dong Province in southern Vietnam.
